Need to change Wifi SSID without resetting the Cameras
Everytime when i want to change the WiFi SSID, I need to reset the camera. This is both in TAPO and VIGI Wifi Camera. Can you update the App such way that we can change the SSID without reset the camera

This doesn't seem too difficult a feature to provide for your Tapo devices - when can we all expect to see this update?

@Home_Cameras this would be awesome. I wouldn't have to physically reset cameras to change WiFi. It's like the feature is halfway there. As we can communicate with the camera and can skip the step of connecting to the camera as an AP.

Hi
Currently, if you want to connect your smart device to a new Wi-Fi network, you need to factory reset the device before reconfiguring it. When the device is installed in a hard-to-access location, we recommend that you first put the device online, such as connecting to the original Wi-Fi network, and then delete the device from the Tapo app to reset the device. After that, you can reconfigure the device on the Tapo app to connect to the new Wi-Fi network.
We appreciate your feedback and votes and hope that you can provide more information about the usage scenarios to help us better evaluate and improve this feature. For example, if the camera is in an online or offline state when switching the camera's Wi-Fi.
While we don't have any specific details that I can share about whether this feature can come to the product or when it might, I'll keep logging the feature request and pass it along to the relevant team for evaluation.
Best Regards

Hi guys, thank you for answering. Ill try to give more details.
As several of the users have already written, it often happens that the camera is transferred or the WIFI settings change and it is not possible to use the same SSID all the time. If the camera is on, it would be ideal to be able to connect to the camera and change the WIFI that the camera connects through. I think this should be one of the essential features of your camera app, as this option is offered by other manufacturers and not just the "professional" ones.
I hope this is not just an empty statement that you will pursue this feature.
Thanks!

1. When I change my SSID around or optimize then I have to hard reset every device.
2. When I take my camera to the babysitter or hotel, I have to hard reset the device to connect it to a temporary network.
This is a joke honestly. Add this feature in. It's one of the biggest pain points of your camera line. Most of us don't keep the camera in one place, we use it and take it around outside our home. This really limits us. Other camera companies you compete with have these features already in the production environment, why can't tp-link?
